The Blazing Heart of a Moonlight Arsonist Alexandria Piette

Rickie "Blue" Hawthorne is a firebug in the wake of what has anguished her, but what happens when the flame has lost all its meaning?In this coming-of-age, gritty drama set in the fictional Crossroads County, Michigan, protagonist Rickie Blue embarks on her addiction to the adrenaline highs of being a pyromaniac and an arsonist to cope with the terminal illness of her mother, Eleanor, and the death of her father, Wade, years prior. When her Uncle Declan visits the Hawthorne household to care for Eleanor and her two children amidst her final days, he introduces Rickie to Graham and Willa Irvine, who teach her how to find solace in being alive instead of in destruction alongside family and friendship. In the end, old habits die hard-something Rickie Blue knows all too well.
